close readings and analyses of sources (musical or otherwise) or question long-standing assumptions. The latter are among the most successful; two particularly fascinating examples are chapter 3, by Gozzi, in which he draws upon a wide array of sources to reconstruct the experience of hearing plainchant in the liturgy, and chapter 14, by historical ethnomusicologist Ignazio Macchiarella, who uses the contemporary singing practices of Southern Italian confraternities to read between the lines of early modern sources on falsobordone. Both chapters include audio examples accessible on the internet. With an overwhelming focus on musical practice and supposedly minor musical genres and styles, this book sheds important light on scholarly methods that go beyond the traditional emphasis on great composers and works. Because it contains little original research, it sits somewhere between a secondary and tertiary source. As its primary purpose is to encourage new research, its main value will be to graduate students and others just embarking on early modern Catholic studies (it is ideal for seminars), though scholars of all ranks and disciplines will find much to consider in this wide-ranging and authoritative resource.
